Alan photography

I have retired from full-time work (yeah, I'm that ancient) and now concentrate on personal projects. I have exhibited in national galleries and I hold bi-annual solo shows. I don't put images onto the internet as my work aims to show the character and intimacy of the sitter, but I do sell individual fine prints to collectors. I always pay models who sit for me, I never offer 'prints for time', but I'm happy to provide copies of my hand-made prints to models who work with me.

Styles I shoot include portrait, nude and all manner of representations of the body and its physicality. I'm London based and use commercial and other professional standard studios. I make digital images, but my real interest is in making portraits and naked portraits of adult people of all ages using photographic printing methods as invented in the nineteenth century - not only 'sepia' (or salt print) photographs, but printing with platinum, cyanotype and using etchings. The prints are made on art paper and have, I believe, a texture and character than screen based or ink-jet pictures lack. They aren't paintings, but have something painterly about them.
